Improvement in broilers



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

FRANK O. BADGER, OF GREENPORT, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO BADGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT IN BROILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,575, dated April 25, 1876; application filed April 1, 1876.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK O. BADGER, of Greenport, in the county of Suffolk and State of New York, have invented a new and'valuable Improvement in Broilers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and t0 the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The figure of the drawing is a representation of a plan view of my broiler.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a broiler, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A represents the frame of the broiler, made of wire doubled and then twisted, so as to leave an eye or loop, a, at the center or the point where the wire is doubled. The twisted wire is then bent or otherwise formed in the shape desired'to make the broiler-frame, and the ends of the wire are inserted in the end of the eye or loop a, which fastens the ends of the frame together. C is the handle, made of wire bent in the center, and the two arms passed through the twists of the frame at one side, and run to the opposite side, where they are bent or clinched around the frame, as shown at b b. D D are the crossbars of the broiler, also made of Wire and both ends clinched over the sides of the frame.

A broiler of this construction is cheap, easily made, and not liable to get out of order. I am aware that the main frame of a broiler has heretofore been made of a single wire bent in a rectangular form, and having an eye at one end, through which the other end is inserted, and I therefore lay no claim to such invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, a broiler, the frame A of which is composed of several strands of Wire twisted together, with an eye or loop, a, in one end, in which is inserted the other end of the twisted wire, and having a handle, C, with its arms inserted between the strands of the twisted wire on one side of the frame, and the ends of said arms looped and clinched around the opposite side of the frame, and cross-bars D looped and clinched at their ends over the sides of the twisted frame, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

FRANK OBADIAH BADGER.
